RESNET. Setting the Nation's Standards for Home Energy Efficiency

The Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) was founded in 1995 as an independent, non-profit organization to help homeowners reduce the cost of their utility bills by making their homes more energy efficient.

What Is an Energy Rater/Auditor?

The national training and certification standards for HERS (Home Energy Rating System) Raters and Home Energy Survey Professionals were created
by RESNET and are recognized by federal government agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Mortgage Industry.

Certification doesn't come easy! RESNET Home Energy Professionals must complete the rigorous training required and agree to abide by the RESNET Code of Conduct. When you work with a RESNET member, you can enjoy peace of mind by knowing that you are protected by the following:

Objectivity: You will always receive an objective rating or audit from a certified RESNET Home Energy Auditor or Rater. All RESNET qualified auditors and raters have pledged to disclose any financial interest they may have in a house they are rating or auditing.

Technical Proficiency: Home energy auditors and raters that are RESNET certified are well trained and have demonstrated a high standard of technical proficiency. Furthermore, they are committed to maintaining and improving their knowledge and skills through continuing education.

Ethical Standards: RESNET's purpose is to set the standard for quality of home energy audits and ratings, and has developed stringent industry standards to ensure the highest quality of service. All RESNET members are obligated to conduct energy audits and ratings in strict accordance with the RESNET Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.

Complaint Resolution Process: RESNET has developed a complaint resolution process for consumers who believe that their auditor or rater has acted outside the RESNET Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. When you work with a RESNET member, you have the confidence that RESNET is standing behind you.
